Cohesion policy is vital for regions and cities to cope with the fallout of the ongoing historic crisis and reduce disparities in Europe

The #CohesionAlliance underlines that cohesion policy remains the EU’s most important investment tool, that it has been effective in addressing the fallout of ongoing extraordinary crises such as the Covid-19 pandemic and that it will be critical in the response to the consequences of the war in Ukraine. However, regional disparities remain high. Cohesion policy should be strengthened and recognised as a fundamental value of the Union to ensure a fair recovery, and a just digital and green transition in Europe. ​
